- What can I make with top-drilled teardrop beads?
- They are made for hanging designs: earrings, pendants, charm clusters and beaded fringe. The hole runs through the narrow top, so the bead hangs with the rounded end down.
- What size wire or cord fits the 1mm hole?
- The hole is about 1mm, so thin wire, headpins, eye pins and fine cord fit. Thicker chain, leather cord or large jump rings will not pass through.
- How big is each bead?
- Each bead is about 9mm long, 6mm wide and 5mm thick. That makes them small drops, closer to an earring accent than a statement pendant.
- Are these beads glass or plastic?
- They are glass. That gives them a clear transparent red color and a bit of weight, but they can chip or break if dropped on a hard surface.
- Do the beads come in matched pairs for earrings?
- The beads are made to a consistent size, so you can pair them for earrings. Check each bead for chips before stringing, since glass drops can vary slightly.
